Also,
>nobody gives a shit about single player games anymore
This is simply not true. Multiplayer games have always been more popular, always. That doesn't mean singleplayer is dead.
>nobody gives a shit about good story and graphics
Most people care only about graphics, what are you talking about. There's a reason why publishers spend tens of millions on marketing, to really show people how good looking the game is.

This is true for PC
Consoles still get a ton of great SP focused games and SP DLC

What you're talking about is exactly why I got a PS4
I missed SP games and I got so tired of playing MP shit on PC
It's really tiring

Multiplayer games are superior. Playing against NPCs just reminds you of how shitty AI is. Every enemy has a limited moveset, strategies and behavior. Playing against other humans is where the real challenge is.

Why? I really wanted to enjoy Witcher 3 but all the menus are just bland vector squares with color grading if the dev feels generous. I blame fucking Destiny for this shit. I want my sprites in menus back.

I was born in 93, started gaming in 95.

Yes, multiplayer games have always been more popular, simply because they are multiplayer. Of course there are single player games that sold 10 times more than some MP ones, but the simple concept of MP and playing with friends is more popular than playing by yourself. Don't you remember how the most important thing for consolecucks was to be able to couch coop with friends on a MP game? Do you realise the HUGE amount of people that by one game a year, play it 10 hours total, and because of that will chose a multiplayer one?

Hell this is why singleplayer games started adding broken and unfinished multiplayer elements just to boost sales, because people love MP, just look at soulsborne games.

You always play against somethings. The game mechanics are there to provide challenge. Even in Rollercoaster Tycoon you fight against time and have to manage your finances to avoid your park shutting down. Even in fucking Sims you play against your own repressed memories and feelings

Unless you're going to argue that VNs and walking simulators are videogames, in which case gb2/jp/ faggot

If they don't take skill, then it should be pretty easy for any shlub of the streets, such as yourself, to go out and win a a major tournament and net millions of dollars. I mean, it's easy, right?

Is it though? I sort of get what he's saying. If you're playing a game of rock paper scissors against like 99% of people it's just going to be a game of chance but for a select group of people it's their life and they actually do play at a level requiring skill. /v/ isn't a board dedicated to such people though so if someone were to claim that /v/ just doesn't like rock paper scissors because it requires skill to be enjoyable I feel like it's pretty fair for some autist to start greentexting at them because it means by that logic very few people actually would find enjoyment in it and thus it might just be a shit game.

>>385207201
Don't know about the others, but 80% of the LoL player base are under Gold, which is pretty much identical to silver and gold in terms of skill.
So yeah, this guy is right.

Blame the Koreans/Chinese. They can't handle any game that involves anything more than robotic emotionless multiplayer gameplay, eg. Dota, Starcraft, LoL. They also generate gorillions of dollar for the industry through shitty gook clan tournaments.

Other than that, the problem is 13 year old European kids shelling money out on retarded Fifa gamemodes.

Im actually curious why esports drives how successful a game can be these days.
I understand what makes a game a good contender in esports, but what should that really matter?

Im gonna get shit for this no matter how I put it, but I play lol.
I only play it at a casual level and I can't take esports seriously.
I cant stand the pro drama, I don't really care for the strategies the pros use, I don't watch streamers, I don't root for a team or region.
I just play the game sometimes. Supposedly, why SHOULD these things matter to me?
Another example is tf2.
the TF devs have recently pushed esports agenda. They need the game to have a ranked mode (even if it sucked, they just needed one asap),
They are interesting in bringing casual players into competitive hype because.....they said so.
So why?
Why do other people care about this stupid shit so much when it barely even has much to do with playing vidya?
The enviornments the pros play and the methods they use make the game an entirely different experience from what the average gamer plays, competitive or casual, so why do so many fucking people give a shit?
someone please help me understand this.
